Grab yourself a camp chair and esky, sit on the grass along Runway 27 on the Sunday before the show at OSH and listen to ATC. Not just the controlling, but at the busiest airport in the world for the day there's still 'have a good day'
If GA doesn't rock your boat, head to The Proud Bird in LA, have dinner so you can see the lights of the constant vectoring and processing of aircraft onto base and final. You won't see a prettier thing. Then get yourself into a Seneca or VLJ and fly into and out of a corporate airport up to the sticks in Minnesota and experience the controlling into a non-towered E-Base 1200ft. Oh yeah, how about being able to own a hangar on an international airport and park your RV in it. Even fly in and out of that airport amongst 73's, 777's etc and the controllers get just as big a kick out of it as you.
Talk about a badge of honour, Hoosten.
None of which has the slightest bit of relevance to this thread apart from "
